TECH TREK 2024

This is one of our favorite programs and we are excited that the Ukiah AAUW Tech Trek Committee, headed by Committee Chair, Kristana Arp, have finished selecting 5 girls to attend STEM Camp at Sonoma State University this summer.

About Campers: All girls attend Tech Trek camps on scholarships provided by AAUW California branch members, working with participating public middle schools in their area.  Seventh grade science and/or math teachers at these schools recommend camper candidates who must then pass through an extensive qualification process that includes an application, an essay, and a personal interview.  Camp curriculum is targeted specifically at girls entering eighth grade.

AAUW branches are not always able to work with every local school, either because the principal, counselors and/or teachers choose not to, or because there are too many schools and too few scholarships available in the local area.

Organizations, unions, groups of teachers, etc. may become Tech Trek Partners by raising fund for a specific group of students.  Please contact us at aauwukiahbranch@gmail.com or principals at Pomolita and Eagle Peak Middle Schools.  Parents cannot provide a scholarship for their daughters and all campers must attend a participating California school.
